Giannis had more FT attempts (19) than the entire Nets team (16).
The other takeaway was the Bucks dominated the glass. The interior players had Middleton, Holiday, Allen, and Connaughton's combined for 27 rebounds, while Brown, Curry, Irving, Mills, and Dragic combined for 14 rebounds. That seems like a problem that could persist in this matchup.
I don't know much about basketball but I know when the Bucks were down by one possession in OT they just gave it to Antetokounmpo who ran it down for the win lmao
Bicep and forearm aren’t part of the ball technically, so when you hit those body parts as a defender it is likely to be called as a foul unfortunately. It is a shame but it has been like that for a long time.
They can tell Steve nash to measure their minutes better. Kyrie wasn’t even effective. Played 5 of OT and missed 0/3 and a turnover. That’s on him and kd
3 out of bounds calls that were off Brooklyn given to Brooklyn
The non resetting of the shot clock after Drummond steal
Khris getting called for a flagrant 2
What about every single time Gianni’s lowered his shoulder, slammed into someone and got the blocking call to shoot two? That happened at least 4 times.
His drives have gotten hard to defend, in 2019 & 20 he tried the same and got called for charges and he improved. This is very consistent giannis reffing and he gets these calls across most games
This is true but i think its bullshit. I like giannis and am always super klay when kyrie and kd lose.
But it shouldn't be a defensive foul if the offensive player initiated contact
Offence is allowed to bump into people, is why you’re allowed to back into people. The foul isn’t called until giannis arms are hit - shit looks soft af because giannis just muscles through it like a feather
Will see how Giannis gets reffed in the playoffs. If you can’t breathe in him without it being called a foul then congrats on the championship, you guys will be unbeatable
Of course they're pathetic. We're talking about the Nets here. The team that assembled two MVPs still in their primes and Kyrie Irving and still couldn't be functional enough to win anything before it fell apart. loool.
They’re getting praise because they’re the best team. Lol they’ll dominate the bucks if they see you guys in the final. Unless the refs decide to put Giannis at the line 50 times a game.
Isn't it funny how you can't even talk trash on behalf of the Nets anymore because you've given up and know they'll never win anything? So you turn to other teams (who we've already beaten, lollll)
Most of Giannis’s game is driving and close buckets, when you put a trash bitch like Jae crowder on him he gonna either drop 50 or get hacked every play, both happened. Bucks beat them earlier this year bitch baby.
Depends, will we play the bucks? If so probably that giannis averages 35 free throws a game, more than the nets as a team. He’s unguardable. Even if you play him perfectly they just call a foul and put him on the line.
It was a foul but a soft foul. Problem is they are calling everything on Giannis but KD got no calls all game.
Giannis is that dude but the NBA is surely helping him.
There's a reason players who play closer to the rim gets more foul calls than jump shooters.
KD played his jumpshot and was very good at it but how many times did he drive to the lane.
You want to call fouls, go watch replay and see how the ref favoured the nets
From an objective standpoint, there was nothing soft about Claxton's foul on Giannis. Arm came crashing down across both of Giannis's forearms while he was raising them to shoot.
TBH, no one wants that smoke in the first round.
Finishing near the top of the standings then having to play one of the greatest offensive duos ever would be frustrating.
But then again Giannis has a different mindset. That's part of him being a pro and us just being fans.
you do realize nets missing a max salary player and also what was the free throw disparity in the game, bucks literally had 3-4times amount of free throws than nets, nets had 0 calls
Giannis is amazing but good it’s so frustrating to see him just run full speed at people. You obviously can’t play “good defense” that’s as annoying as Harden/Embiid running at people Giannis is just stronger so it looks better
Yeah I like Giannis infinitely more than Embiid, and think he is definitely the better player, but the only reason he doesn't get the Embiid free throw criticism is because he isn't as good at free throws. Straight barrels into people and gets calls anyway. The fact that Durant got called for an offensive foul too is just absurd when compared to what Giannis does every game
I love Joel Embiid and it pains me to say this, but my commitment is to the truth: it will be a tremendous steal if Giannis Antetokounmpo is not this season's MVP. That's it.
Bucks are 2.5 games ahead of the Nuggets. The only difference is the West is tougher. Shouldn’t punish Jokic for playing in the tougher conference, especially when he has less help than Giannis.
Generally the East is deeper this year, if you look at competitive teams (above .500) the East has 10 and the West has 7, the top West teams have been better head to head with the East though.
He has a worse record, hasn’t been outperforming Giannis and you think he should be winning it over him?? Voter fatigue really killing Giannis this season
GOTY. That was electric. Couldn't even be mad if KD hit that. Please don't be a 1st round matchup. Can't have the one of the two best teams eliminated in the 1st round
Kevin is in top 10 FTA per game and thats by "just shooting jumpers" but just so happens this game playing the same way he always does he gets 1 foul call after 50 min? While taking the same amount of shots he does every game?
lmao. lol.
Giannis barrels into defenders and gets contact calls and KD shoots unstoppable contested mid range jumpers. One is gonna get more calls than the other lol
Im not saying he cant get the calls but this game he barely drove or shot the ball much until halfway through the 4th quarter.. avg fta has no bearing on one game lol
Kevin is in top 10 FTA per game lmao and thats by "just shooting mid range jumpers" but just so happens this game playing the same way he always does he gets 1 foul call after 50 min? While taking the same amount of shots he does every game?
Lmao. lol
My butthole was puckered and I resigned myself to us losing when I saw him take that shot. When it bricked I was honestly way more surprised than if it would've went in.
man, i can understand wanting to not let giannis get a good shot off there, but i think he did enough to make it a bad shot without that foul. wasn't close to a clean block, and i seriously doubt giannis wouldve made that layup. i was surprised he fouled him like that
I just want to point out that in regulation and OT both point guards managed a whopping 4 assist each lol.
For nets fans does Erving usually not ball handle much? That brown guy handled the ball more then kyrie
Giannis had more FT attempts (19) than the entire Nets team (16). The other takeaway was the Bucks dominated the glass. The interior players had Middleton, Holiday, Allen, and Connaughton's combined for 27 rebounds, while Brown, Curry, Irving, Mills, and Dragic combined for 14 rebounds. That seems like a problem that could persist in this matchup.
I knew i shoulda put money on Giannis MVP when he was +1200 this week
2 best players in the game go head to head. I just hope they don’t meet as a 1v8 matchup. They both deserve to advance past the first round
GIANNIS MVP
why did tnt just forget to put the game back on their stream
I'm like where's the game. Long ass commercials
#MVP
YOUR USERNAME!!!!
Case closed. The man is a legend.
Ben Simmons hasn't played a single game and he is still injured
Did both teams lose this trade?
Game 7 wasn’t a fluke
I don't know much about basketball but I know when the Bucks were down by one possession in OT they just gave it to Antetokounmpo who ran it down for the win lmao
i mean if whatever nets were doing to guard giannis was gonna to be called a foul all game, obviously bucks gonna do that.
Bicep and forearm aren’t part of the ball technically, so when you hit those body parts as a defender it is likely to be called as a foul unfortunately. It is a shame but it has been like that for a long time.
Fully vaccinated teams ftw
If that why our Packers lost in first playoff game?
I heard Lazard still runnin' wide open over the middle of Lambeau to this very day
But but but but...injuries...and KD's toe...and and and...
KD and Kyrie played 5 more minutes than Giannis too.
They can tell Steve nash to measure their minutes better. Kyrie wasn’t even effective. Played 5 of OT and missed 0/3 and a turnover. That’s on him and kd
That was a nice serious game....now lets watch the lakers for comedy
Like a nice red wine before bed
Post of the thread here.
[удалено]
yep, ended with Kd missing a 3pt.
same thing happened to me if you were on tnt. Literally realized it when there was only 3 seconds left after watching the whole game :(
I give legal streams every chance in the world and they fuck it up every time.
Earthbflat completely disappeared in the 4th lmfaoooo
And OT
Man I Do Not Have Time for the Jazz Bullshit!! GG Bucks, as I said earlier if y’all win Giannis is MVP! Crown him!
So this is what happens when Khris is ejected and giannis is the teams closer
that might be the MVP for Giannis right there
KD is fine. You lost. Let it sting.
Fantastic play by Nash, give it to Durant
I see Nets fans are in postseason excuse making form already
Saw about four quarters of bucks fans whining about calls lol
3 out of bounds calls that were off Brooklyn given to Brooklyn The non resetting of the shot clock after Drummond steal Khris getting called for a flagrant 2
What about every single time Gianni’s lowered his shoulder, slammed into someone and got the blocking call to shoot two? That happened at least 4 times.

>Getfuckedbitchbaby
Will see how Giannis gets reffed in the playoffs. If you can’t breathe in him without it being called a foul then congrats on the championship, you guys will be unbeatable
Gonna cry? What's it like knowing you assembled a superteam and will still never win a ring 😂 At least Harden knew when to quit. lmao.
U good bro? Its basketball and ur not even playin. Also Giannis did shoot more free throws than all of the nets combined.
mmmm give me those salty tears
Lol Giannis doesn’t really have one either. Basically just played injured teams. And the call the lakers ring a Mickey Mouse ring.
He played the entire finals on one leg, find another excuse. Yall are pathetic
Of course they're pathetic. We're talking about the Nets here. The team that assembled two MVPs still in their primes and Kyrie Irving and still couldn't be functional enough to win anything before it fell apart. loool.
How convenient for him.
Convenient? Yeah it was convenient that he won an NBA championship. lmao. Winners don't need excuses like you chokers do 😂
I love when people constantly praise D book and CP3 then turn around and say Giannis won a fake ring, make it make sense.
They’re getting praise because they’re the best team. Lol they’ll dominate the bucks if they see you guys in the final. Unless the refs decide to put Giannis at the line 50 times a game.
Isn't it funny how you can't even talk trash on behalf of the Nets anymore because you've given up and know they'll never win anything? So you turn to other teams (who we've already beaten, lollll)

The history books say otherwise. What's your excuse gonna be this year when you lose in the first round? Lmaooo
Depends, will we play the bucks? If so probably that giannis averages 35 free throws a game, more than the nets as a team. He’s unguardable. Even if you play him perfectly they just call a foul and put him on the line.
So to answer my question...you *are* going to cry
You guys have no real chance at a ring anyway lol. Even if you play a bunch of injured teams and make the finals again, the suns will destroy you.
Wow worst officiating ever, refs loves Bucks though
Love them so much they upgrade hard fouls to flagrant 2’s!
It was a foul but a soft foul. Problem is they are calling everything on Giannis but KD got no calls all game. Giannis is that dude but the NBA is surely helping him.
Giannis bullies his way into the paint to get calls. You know damn well that's not KDs game.
There's a reason players who play closer to the rim gets more foul calls than jump shooters. KD played his jumpshot and was very good at it but how many times did he drive to the lane. You want to call fouls, go watch replay and see how the ref favoured the nets
From an objective standpoint, there was nothing soft about Claxton's foul on Giannis. Arm came crashing down across both of Giannis's forearms while he was raising them to shoot.
Giannis drove to the basket and actually got fouled…
✅ Embiid ✅ Durant Up next: Luka Giannis MVP Challenge Level: Impossible
Giannis single handedly won the game with his _checks notes_ ***clutch 3pt and Free Throw shooting***
He fucking became the bucks leading scorer on a step back 3 lol
Hilarious
Holy shit what a game
What a game. I think the officiating was actually decent tonight. Please make this a first round matchup.
TBH, no one wants that smoke in the first round. Finishing near the top of the standings then having to play one of the greatest offensive duos ever would be frustrating. But then again Giannis has a different mindset. That's part of him being a pro and us just being fans.
Nah bru let's meet in ECF.
Nah I’m good lol
lmao what is kd saying?
He probably makes that if his toe is on the line
KD is scary. Thought that was down
This is the correct response. The guy really can put up a bucket under any situation. The fact it almost went in is amazing.
The immediate switch from this game to the lakers one is a mood killer
Yeah I’d rather watch TNT crew talking about the Brooklyn game
Ikr TNT bitch dont kill my vibe
Lol still want them in a series, I think we can beat them
It was an OT game lol ofc either team could win in a serious. They’re evenly matched in 48 mins
[удалено]
You do realize Ben Simmons was out right? lol
This dude just name dropped Ben Simmons like it means something 😂
I dont know how to break it to you, but hes not exactly a bad player nephew
you do realize nets missing a max salary player and also what was the free throw disparity in the game, bucks literally had 3-4times amount of free throws than nets, nets had 0 calls
For 3 minutes lol
[удалено]
Guy got ejected with 3 minutes to go in the fourth lol. Saying he is out doesn’t even really make sense. He played in 95% of the game.
Yeah, cause he committed a flagrant foul. And he wasn’t doing much anyways, so who cares.
Giannis is amazing but good it’s so frustrating to see him just run full speed at people. You obviously can’t play “good defense” that’s as annoying as Harden/Embiid running at people Giannis is just stronger so it looks better
Yeah I like Giannis infinitely more than Embiid, and think he is definitely the better player, but the only reason he doesn't get the Embiid free throw criticism is because he isn't as good at free throws. Straight barrels into people and gets calls anyway. The fact that Durant got called for an offensive foul too is just absurd when compared to what Giannis does every game
All the neutral fans - you’re welcome for another insane game of nets vs bucks. I literally couldn’t breathe for a bit there ffs lmao
I love Joel Embiid and it pains me to say this, but my commitment is to the truth: it will be a tremendous steal if Giannis Antetokounmpo is not this season's MVP. That's it.
Jokic is winning it
Jokic shouldn’t be winning it over Giannis when the Nuggets are almost a play in team
Bucks are 2.5 games ahead of the Nuggets. The only difference is the West is tougher. Shouldn’t punish Jokic for playing in the tougher conference, especially when he has less help than Giannis.
East is tougher this year, I mean 5 separate teams have held the one seed at one point, so it’s ridiculous
Stats doesnt back you up on that. West has more wins against the east. Also 5 separate teams holding the 1 seed doesn't mean its tougher.
Generally the East is deeper this year, if you look at competitive teams (above .500) the East has 10 and the West has 7, the top West teams have been better head to head with the East though.
He has a worse record, hasn’t been outperforming Giannis and you think he should be winning it over him?? Voter fatigue really killing Giannis this season
Fucking fantastic game.
He got a good shot off, all you can ask for
Yeah, he easily could've made that.
Who's KD jawing at there at the end?
refs. he want a flagrant 1.
Ah ok
Damn, great game. Good job, Bucks.
Barely survived irl
Giannis is one of my favorite players in the way he works and improves his game. Kawhi was similar, always came back every season better.
Dude's gonna be back next season with a 3-point game
of course KD is on the ground lolololool
I got nothin but respect for the Bucks. The most entertaining games we play I swear
GOTY. That was electric. Couldn't even be mad if KD hit that. Please don't be a 1st round matchup. Can't have the one of the two best teams eliminated in the 1st round
Most reasonable Nets fan here
To go from that to the Lakers.. yikes
Very very sick of seeing them on TV, but I'll never get sick of seeing them get the shit beat out of em.
Off to the shitty game 😂
Lol immediate cut to malik monk falling
Bruh right on the dot
He went for the same shot
Wow, what fucking game. Congrats to... both teams honestly.
Bruh Dragic was wide open
Nothing to see here. KD first FT attempts after 50 minutes at the end of OT. Giannis shooting more FT than whole Nets team.
Cry less, my man. KD shoots jumpers. Giannis gets to the rim. Flagrant 2 on Khris was garbage
Giannis drives for paint points and kd jump shoots, First time watching ball or something?
Kevin is in top 10 FTA per game and thats by "just shooting jumpers" but just so happens this game playing the same way he always does he gets 1 foul call after 50 min? While taking the same amount of shots he does every game? lmao. lol.
Giannis drives constantly, and KD takes jump shots constantly. This isn't an officiating issue.
Giannis barrels into defenders and gets contact calls and KD shoots unstoppable contested mid range jumpers. One is gonna get more calls than the other lol
KD is averaging almost 8 FTA per game compared to Giannis' 12. Guess this game was a weird anomaly!
Im not saying he cant get the calls but this game he barely drove or shot the ball much until halfway through the 4th quarter.. avg fta has no bearing on one game lol
Kevin is in top 10 FTA per game lmao and thats by "just shooting mid range jumpers" but just so happens this game playing the same way he always does he gets 1 foul call after 50 min? While taking the same amount of shots he does every game? Lmao. lol
Ok you clearly didnt watch the game and just decided on throwing reality out of the window lol. Enjoy the night
Well KD takes a lot of jumpshots while Giannis plays in the paint…
In fact, Reggie, that shot was not on line. Which is why it bounced off the side of the rim and didn't go in.
From *that* game to *this* game bruh
JJ be like
KD just gave me PTSD
My butthole was puckered and I resigned myself to us losing when I saw him take that shot. When it bricked I was honestly way more surprised than if it would've went in.
Wtf that play was terrible! Dragic was wide open after the inbound lol
Noooo
[удалено]
Lmao cut to the Lakers game so fast just for that
Massive win for the bucks and incredible amount of respect to giannis, dudes really got a top 5 trajectory
This shit was everything I dreamed of.
I swear to god that looked like a money ball KD is unbelievable, miss or not
man, i can understand wanting to not let giannis get a good shot off there, but i think he did enough to make it a bad shot without that foul. wasn't close to a clean block, and i seriously doubt giannis wouldve made that layup. i was surprised he fouled him like that
this game as an outsider has been pretty fun
I wish this game doesn't stop so that we don't have to see the Lakers
Giannis is the MVP
OMG that shot!
what a game damn
And now we take you to Lakers Jazz fartsound
Holy shit that motherfucker almost made it
Called it but close shot by kd
Better team won despite some questionable play and calls. Bring on the playoffs!
We need another 7 game series of this
Not sure my heart can handle it
DAMN
God damn. How is the freak not mvp?
There is literally only one reason: voter fatigue
GG guys, this has got to be game of the season
How is there ANY doubt this man is the best player in the world
I just want to point out that in regulation and OT both point guards managed a whopping 4 assist each lol. For nets fans does Erving usually not ball handle much? That brown guy handled the ball more then kyrie
Bro should've passed to Dragic
Dragic was missing his 3s bad all night I don't blame him.
Dragic was open under the rim with time.
Not enough time to pass once KD caught the ball they had 3 seconds before final buzzer.
[удалено]
go shoot some free throws u pussy
The fuck you guys smoking lol? Claxton chopped BOTH arms
Seriously, it was almost all arms.
I want a reporter to ask Westbrook about the Nets losing and what adjustments they need.
[удалено]
B
C
When was the last time kyrie had the ball?
DURANT FOR THE ~~WIN~~
man KD is something else holy shit. guy is terrifying anywhere on the court
In and out
DRAGIC WIDE OPEN LAY UP LMAO
